Furthermore, the results of the capacity of information hiding in the case with attackers are given also.

A nonlinear multiscalc pyramidal decomposition based on median transform is presented in this paper at first. Then it gives a denoising algorithm which can restore the image distorted by impidse noise and Gaussian noise. The coefficients of the image via the median pyramidal transform represent different characteristics, so the transform can effectively detach noise from image. The different noise coefficients suppression means can be adopted to remove different noise. The simulation result indicates the method is effective, and superior over other methods.

An algorithm of dominant color extraction in DGT domain based on MPEG7 is described in this paper, which proposes an efficient and fast method to extract the dominant color feature from the compressed bit streams. As a part of the algorithm, a method for automatic determination of threshold is proposed too. The proposed algorithm is based on JPEG standard and some statistical parameters of DCT coefficients. Experimental results of comparison show that the proposed algorithm is effective and fast in dominant color extraction. A target application is similar retrieval in compressed image database or Internet via this proposed algorithm.

Aimed at the difficult problem for detecting distant small target with very low SNR, the proposed method of target detection based on multi-sensor multi-level information fusion consists of two parts: The feature level fusion and the decision fusion. On the phase of feature level fusion, first extract all feature images of dual band IR images; then fuse these feature images by using the adaptive weighting method to get the confidence images of target decision; finally scan the confidence images by using the maximum confidence value rule to get result of target detection for all levels. On the phase of decision fusion, fuse the result of target detection for all levels by using the combination logic to get target detection output for the system. The result shows the effectiveness.

The modified PIU criteria are also included. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and accommodation of the techniques, and provide a valid reference in the choice of registration techniques.

Automatic speech recognition in telecommunications environment still has a lower correct rate compared to its desktop pairs. Improving the performance of telephone-quality speech recognition is an urgent problem for its application in those practical fields. Previous works have shown that the main reason for this performance degradation is the varational mismatch caused by different telephone channels between the testing and train-ing sets. In this paper, they propose an efficient implementation to dynamically compen-sate this mismatch based on a phone-conditioned prior statistic model for the channel bias. This algorithm uses Bayes’ rule to estimate telephone channels and dynamically follows the time-variations within the channels. In their experiments on mandarin Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR) over telephone lines, the average Character Error Rate (CER) decreases more than 27% when applying this algorithm; in short utterance test, the Vord-Error-Rate(VER) relatively reduced 30%. At the same time, the structural delay and computational consumptions required by this algorithm are limited. The average delay is about 200 ins. So it could be embedded into practical telephone-based applications.

Finally, the experimental results prove the effectiveness and usability of this model.

At the same time, Monte Carlo simulation is used to validate the idea. The results show that the Mean Square Error (MES) of frequency estimation using median filter is more perfect than using mean value filter.

In this paper, initial assumption of SAR pixel distribution is derived from H/a classifier. Then a Maximum Likelihood (ML) method is introduced to improve the classifi-cation.. The backscattering properties of a natural medium, that varies with the observation frequency, dual-frequency SAR images are combined to get further improved classification. Speckle in SAR images will disturb classification accuracy. Vector filter of speckle is used to dual-frequency images before classification. Experiments are done on data got by NASA/JPL lab near Tien Mountains, and pseudo-colored classification results of both single and dual frequency POLSAR image are submitted. Results show that filtered dual-frequency fully polarimetric SAR data obtain the best classification result.

The simulation result; .shows that orbit disturbance is the key factor to Doppler error, and the enhancement of attitude stabilization can lead to the decline of Doppler error as well as its variability. The conclusion is valuable for the determination and optimization of the system parameters.

Velocity and acceleration of target are regard as these of the most important features in real and artificial warhead recognition for ballistic missile defence phased array radar, and also are used as the necessary information for velocity compensation of one-dimensional range profile in wideband radar.

A new way to solve velocity ambiguity is also proposed. The simulation proves that all the methods are correct and efficient.

Finally, experimental results show that the sub-band coding gains can be improved when an appropriate initial filterbank is chosen.

For the received signals were sampled at a fixed rate that is asynchronous with the data clock in software radio, we implement symbol synchronization during the process of decimation which replace general methods by using an interpolator in the baseband stage, and Maximum Likelihood(ML) timing synchronization techniques can be incorporated into the filters polyphase decomposition in a natural way. In order to match the timing delay of received signals to the data timing delay, the timing delay structure was adjusted by utilizing the timing error. Cascaded Integrator Comb (CIC) filters and HalfBand Filters (HDF) served as decimation filters that reduce the system complexity and computational burden to a certain extent. The numerical simulation results show that the value of timing delay structure will be converged to a constant with small fluctuation when the received signals timing delay matches the data timing delay, and the output from the last stage of FIR is the optimal sampled signals.

Here L is the length of the LFSR.

Cryptographically strong sequences not only should have a large linear com-plexity, but also no a significant decrease of the linear complexity when a few terms are changed. This requirement leads to the concept of the /c-error linear complexity of periodic sequences. In the following two cases: (1) gcd(N,p) = 1; (2) N= p^v, where p denotes the characteristic of the finite field GF(q), the counting function N_N,o(c), i.e., the number of N-periodic sequences with given linear complexity c, is showed, the expected value of the linear complexity E_n,o is determined, and a useful lower bound on the expected value of the k-errov linear complexity E_N,κ is established.

This paper discusses the routing and handover issue hi the NGSO rosette satel-lite constellations equipped with Inter-Satellite Links (ISL). Based on the variation regular-ity of the rosette constellation topology, a novel routing strategy named circularly refreshing routing strategy is proposed. Then, by appropriately combining routing and handover pro-cedure, the Minimal-Hop Handover (MHH) strategy is proposed. Compared with other previous strategies, the simulation results show that MHH strategy performs better with less propagation delay and lower handover frequency, so it has a good practical value.

In this paper, a space-time coded MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Diversion Multiplexing) system using frequency spread cod-ing is proposed based on the fact that the fading effects of the transmitted signals on each sub-carrier are different owing to the frequency- selective fading property. The simulation re-sults indicate that the proposed scheme not only effectively exploits the inherent frequency diversity of the frequency-selective channel and maintains the spectrum efficiency of sys-tem, but also has a low complexity and is easy to realize compared to other MIMO OFDM systems.

The tradeoff between performance and complexity must he taken into account in channels estimation algorithm of wireless OFDM systems.

The analysis and simulation results show that the novel algorithm reduces the complexity remarkably with performance slightly degraded.

This paper proposes two new switch architectures that are more flexible and cost effective than the methods introduced in the literatures. For a given packet loss probability requirement, the resiilts demonstrate that (1) for non-bursty traffic, non-degenerate form of Fiber Delay-Lines (FDLs) is the most cost effective solution; (2) for bursty traffic, a combined use of degenerate FDLs and Tunable Wavelength Converters (TWCs) is a cost effective and robust solution. With the increase of the average burst length, i.e., burstiness, the number of TWCs needs to be increased so as to maintain a reasonable packet loss probability. However, even for the traffic with high degree of burstiness, the architecture that employs a set of degenerate FDLs and TWCs shared among the input lines, is still a cost effective and robust solution.

In the new model, error propagations of both the traffic density and the average velocity are considered and the extended Kalman filter is used to estimate all traffic states.
